Very nice hotel, great location, rooms were nice and clean. Pool , work out room , and spa fantastic. The only slight negative is getting to your room can be a maze. But we will definitely be back.

Pros (+) Friendly staff and comfortable
Pros (+) Location
Cons (-) Everything
Pros (+) Close to beach
Cons (-) The rooms where dusty. Expensive for parking, resort fee & you didn’t get much besides a pool that is mediocre. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.
Pros (+) We loved how clean the room was. The bed was super comfortable. We loved our pool and ocean view room. The best part was the distance to the ocean and easy access.
Cons (-) Nothing it was perfect!
Cons (-) Bartenders were rude when I didn’t even drink. Valet put scratches on my gf’s brand new jeep, & took 15-20min to get car pulled around when there was no one waiting in front of us
Cons (-) Did early check in on Hilton Honors app, got a great room with a view. But then digital key didn’t work, they said to come to the front desk and turns out we got a worse room. Either it’s a problem with the app or the hotel, but was very disappointing to be treated that way.
Pros (+) short drive to Legoland
Cons (-) cleanliness of all areas including mold on the shower curtain, ants in the room, water and sand on the floor of the elevators
Pros (+) Clean rooms.
Cons (-) Rooms old, carpet grubby, Restaurant below average.
Pros (+) We loved everything the moment we walked in! Thank you for making our mini moon perfect, Cape Rey!
